Os misturadores estáticos constituem uma alternativa aos vasos agitados tradicionais, sendo aplicados em processos contínuos. Os atuais fabricantes nacionais de misturadores estáticos têm apresentado dificuldade em definir o tipo adequado de misturador para as aplicações de um modo geral, como selecionar um misturador que, apesar de promover a mistura apresenta um alto consumo de energia para a aplicação. A constante preocupação em se reduzir o consumo de energia exige um cuidado especial com relação à escolha do misturador adequado ao processo. Dois misturadores denominados ALETAS e EDA foram selecionados de um trabalho anterior que desenvolveu e otimizou misturadores estáticos, utilizando a ferramenta fluido-dinâmica computacional (CFD), sendo que um destes se opera em regime laminar (ALETAS) e o outro em regime turbulento (EDA). O presente estudo buscou complementar o desenvolvimento destes novos tipos de misturadores estáticos, sob a forma de ensaios experimentais, em regimes laminar e turbulento. Como resultado dos ensaios experimentais pôde-se concluir que o misturador tipo ALETAS é adequado para se operar em regime laminar e o EDA pode ser utilizado em ambos regimes, laminar e turbulento, com alguns cuidados especiais para o caso de regime laminar. Os mesmos foram comparados com misturadores bastante estudados na literatura (Kenics e Sulzer SMX) apresentando desempenho similar a estes dois misturadores comerciais / Abstract: Mixing is a unit operation with applicability in many industrial fields, such as food, chemical, petrochemical, beverages and pharmaceutical, just to say some fields. The static mixers appear with an alternative to the traditional agitated vessels. They could be used such in batch mixing operation as in continuous processes, but mainly in continuous processes. The Brazilian suppliers had some problems in choosing the adequate equipment, and it is not rare that they choose an equipment that really does the proper mixture, but with a very high consumption of energy. The recently concern about saving energy demands a special care about the choosing of the best static mixer for the particular task.It was selected two models (ALETAS and EDA) from another work that developed static mixers using computational fluid-dynamic (CFD) method, the ALETAS mixer for laminar mixing and EDA for turbulent mixing. This work searches to complete this study, by experimental tests in laminar and turbulent mixing conditions.The results show that ALETAS static mixer can be used in laminar mixing, as the EDA static mixer but the EDA can be used in laminar mixing with some particular cares. The EDA can also be used in the turbulent mixing. Both models of static mixers were also compared with the Kenics and Sulzer SMX commercial static mixers using the data available in the literature with very similar results / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos / Mestre em Engenharia Química

Fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD) é usada como técnica com abordagem Euleriana-Euleriana para prever o comportamento do riser da FCC. O modelo considera 12 grupos com desativação do catalisador dada por coque e envenenamento por nitritos alcalinas e adsorção aromático policíclico para estimar o comportamento cinético, o qual partindo de uma determinada matéria prima, se craquea a diversos produtos. Composições diferentes para matérias-primas foram consideradas. Para validação o modelo foi comparado com dados experimentais em condições de operação industrial. O modelo é capaz de representar com precisão a geração de produtos para as diferentes condições de operação consideradas. Todas as condições consideradas foram resolvidos usando o solver Ansys CFX 14.0. As diferentes variáveis do processo de operação e efeitos hidrodinâmicos do riser industrial de craqueamento catalítico fluidizado (FCC) foram avaliadas. As previsões do modelo são apresentados e comparadas; conversão e produtos são apresentados. Recomendações para criar condições para obter maior rendimento do produto no processo industrial foram dadas / Abstract: Feedstock conversion and yield products are studied through a 3D model simulating the main reactor of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is used with Eulerian-Eulerian approach to predict the fluid catalytic cracking behavior. The model considers 12 lumps with catalyst deactivation by coke and poisoning by alkaline nitrides and polycyclic aromatic adsorption to estimate the kinetic behavior which, starting from a given feedstock, produces several cracking products. Different feedstock compositions are considered. The model is compared with sampling data at industrial operation conditions. The simulation model is able to represent accurately the products behavior for the different operating conditions considered. All the conditions considered were solved using a solver Ansys CFX 14.0. The different operation process variables and hydrodynamic effects of the industrial riser of a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) are evaluated. Predictions from the model are shown and comparison with experimental conversion and yields products are presented; recommendations are drawn to establish the conditions to obtain higher product yields in the industrial process / Doutorado / Engenharia de Processos / Doutor em Engenharia Química

Thermochemical nonequilibrium widely exists in supersonic combustion, cold plasma and hypersonic flight. The effect can influence heat transfer, surface ablation and aerodynamic loads. One distinct feature of it is the coupling between internal energy excitation and chemical reactions, particularly the vibration-dissociation coupling. The widely used models are empirical and calibrated based on limited experimental data. Advances in theories and computational power have made the first-principle calculation of thermal nonequilibrium reaction rates by methods like quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) almost a routine today. However, the approach is limited by the uncertainties and availability of potential energy surfaces. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study of thermal nonequilibrium transport properties with this approach. Most importantly, non-trivial effort is required to process the QCT data and implement it in flow simulation methods. In this context, the first part of this work establishes the approach to compute transport properties by the QCT method and studies the influence of thermal nonequilibrium on transport properties for N₂-O molecules. The preponderance of the work is the second part, a comprehensive study of the development of a new thermal nonequilibrium reaction model based on reasonable assumptions and approximations. The new model is as convenient as empirical models. By validating against recent QCT data and experimental results, we found the new model can predict nonequilibrium characteristics of dissociation reactions with nearly the same accuracy as QCT calculations do. In general, the results show the potential of the new model to be used as the standard dissociation model for the simulation of thermochemical nonequilibrium flows.

The simulation of natural phenomena such as clouds, smoke, fire and water is one of the most important research areas in computer graphics. Clouds are an essential component of any outdoor virtual environment, they add an important element of visual detail without which the environment would feel unrealistic. This paper describes an approach for setting up a cloud simulation. Clouds in our system are modeled using cellular automaton. To accelerate the simulation and its visualization, we implement both  entirely on programmable floating-point graphics hardware. The main part of the algorithm is implemented in a fragment shader and therefore takes full advantage of the highly parallel structure. The algorithm can generate result at real-time or near real-time frame rates. We also simulate the interaction of clouds with light, including self-shadowing.

An attempt to numerically predict flow rate of experimental configuration of orifices in transition between molecular and viscous flow regime is described in detail. Discretization of Boltzmann kinetic equation known as lattice-Boltzmann method is derived and applied unfortunately with very little connection to the original experimental problem due to nearly supersonic nature of the experimental setup. Current quite unsatisfactory state of the art of compressible lattice-Boltzmann method is also presented.

This document is a report summering the master thesis work dealing with the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) study of the flow around a high-speed train. The model is a scaled 1:50 generic train with two cars, one inter-car gap and simplified bogies. A platform is set on the side of the train since one of the aim of the study is to look at the consequences of the phenomena in the wake on people or objects standing on the platform. The slipstream is one of this phenomena, it is due to the fact that the viscous air is dragged when the train is passing. If too strong, it can move or destabilize people or objects on the platform. In addition of the slipstream study, a velocity profile study, a drag and lift coefficients analyze as well as a Q-factor study and a frequency study have been realized. Some results of these different studies are compared with the ones obtained on the same model with a Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES). Since the flow is turbulent, for those different studies, the flow has been simulated with a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation model (RANS) which is the k-ω SST model for the turbulence. The study of the slipstream allowed to calculate the Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) which must not be higher that the European Union requirement set at 15.5 m/s, the result obtained is 8.1 m/s which is then lower than the limit. The velocity profile shows similarities with the DDES results even though it is less detailed. The same conclusion is done for the Q-plot where is clearly visible the two counter-rotating vortices in the wake. Finally, a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm has been applied to instantaneous velocity results in the wake of the train in order to get the frequency of the aerodynamic phenomena in that wake. The main frequency is 25 Hz and corresponds to a Strouhal number of 0.1, quite closed to the results obtained with DDES which is 0.085. The results of the RANS and DDES are reasonably similar and by regarding at the large difference between the cell numbers (respectively 8 500 000 and 20 000 000) it can be conclude that in some ways the RANS model can be preferred at the DDES to save time for the computation but it does not contain the small scales resolved by the DDES.

Avstängda kärnkraftverk berövar många människor av elektricitet och det skulle ha en negativ inverkan både på företagets framtoning och mänskliga aktiviteter. På grund av detta behöver tillgängligheten av utrustningen i alla byggnaderna som kärnkraftverken består ses till. HVAC-system (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) spelar en viktig roll när det gäller tillgänglighet av utrustning eftersom dessa system ser till pålitligheten är på topp genom att anpassade omgivningsförhållanden till utrustningen. Att designa ventilationssystemet rätt är därför mycket viktigt och måste göras noggrant. Denna rapport introducerar metodologin för att designa och optimera ett ventilationssystem för en av byggnaderna i ett kärnkraftverk. Utöver detta utvecklas och beskrivs en metodologi för att designa ett rökkontrollssystem för en byggnad som ingår i kärnkraftverket. Dessa metodologier har implementerats för en byggnad i en demineraliseringsstation, Hinkley Point C project. / During nuclear power plants shutdown many people could be deprived of electricity and it would have a negative impact both on the company’s image and on people activities. As a consequence, availability of equipments in the different buildings which compose the power plant needs to be assured. HVAC system (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) plays an important role on the reliability of these equipments as it makes sure that ambient conditions in the buildings fit the operating temperature range of the equipments. Consequently sizing a ventilation system is really important and it needs to be carried out seriously. This paper introduces the methodology to size and optimize a ventilation system for nuclear power plants’ building. This paper also develops the methodology used to size a smoke control system in a nuclear related building. Direct application of this methodology has been realised for a specific building which is the demineralization station of Hinkley Point C project.

Clouds are ubiquitous and ever-changing feature of the outdoors. They are an integral factor in Earth's weather systems. Component of water circulation in a nature and a strong indicator of weather patterns and changes. Clouds are important component of the visual simulation of any outdoor scene, but the complexity of cloud formation, dynamics, and light interaction makes cloud simulation and rendering difficult in real time. In an interactive flight simulation, users would like to fly in and around realistic, volumetric clouds. I Present, two main ways of representation cloud in computer graphic, where one way use for modelling Perlin noise and second one use for modelling fluid dynamic system.

<p dir="ltr">Increased scrutiny from customers and regulators to design aeroengines that are more efficient and environmentally friendly has pushed the need to investigate new engine architectures, manufacturing techniques, and computational fluid dynamic methods. This has led to the development of the CSTAR Gen. 2.5 centrifugal compressor, which uses an additively manufactured diffusion system and investigates the aerodynamic performance of an axi-centrifugal aeroengine. Additionally, an isolated unsteady diffuser computational model was previously developed that seeks to significantly reduce the computational cost of unsteady CFD in the diffuser.</p><p dir="ltr">The research presented in this paper is part of an ongoing attempt to utilize the capabilities of isolated unsteady diffuser modeling and rapid prototyping enabled through additive manufacturing in CSTAR Gen. 2.5 to develop a design framework that allows for quick computational and experimental analysis of diffusion systems in centrifugal compressors. Specifically, the scope of isolated unsteady diffuser modeling, which was previously only implemented in CSTAR Gen. 1 and at a single loading condition, is expanded by analyzing computational instabilities when applying the methodology to CSTAR Gen. 2.5 and analyzing results from four loading conditions (high loading, design point, low loading, and near choke) along a speedline.</p><p dir="ltr">Computational instabilities in the CSTAR Gen. 2.5 isolated diffuser models were determined to be caused by the decreased vaneless space compared to Gen. 1, which led to less “mixed” flow at the impeller outlet and a stronger diffuser potential field affecting the inlet profile. A boundary profile correction approach was developed which slightly increased very low total pressure near the diffuser shroud and negative radial velocity regions near the shroud and pitchwise locations of the diffuser vane leading edges while minimizing the overall affected area. The correction was successfully validated using 3D flow structure and minimum, average, and maximum total pressure, absolute velocity magnitude, and pressure comparisons at the diffuser inlet between an isolated and full-stage model.</p><p dir="ltr">Prediction capabilities of 3D flow structures and 1D performance parameters by isolated unsteady diffuser models were validated with results from full-stage unsteady models at each loading condition. The analysis indicated consistent performance by the isolated unsteady diffuser model at all loading conditions. An overall agreement in 3D flow structures was found, and trends in the full-stage unsteady models along the speedline were tracked well by the isolated unsteady model. At all loading conditions, there was a consistent over-representation of the separation region along the diffuser vane pressure side in the diffuser passage, overprediction of total pressure magnitude at the core of the flow at the diffuser outlet, and over- or underprediction of total pressure loss and static pressure recovery respectively. The similarity in the results between full-stage and isolated unsteady models, tracking of trends along the speedline, and consistent differences in 3D flow structure predictions and 1D performance parameters validates the isolated unsteady diffuser methodology for use at loading conditions from surge to choke.</p>

Die Herstellung hochqualitativer Produkte in der Lebensmittel-, Kosmetik- und Pharmaindustrie erfordert den Einsatz reproduzierbarer Reinigungsprozesse. Häufig wird die nasschemische Reinigung als Cleaning in Place Verfahren angewandt. Diese Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Optimierung von Reinigungsprozessen im nicht immergierten System insbesondere bei der Anwendung gravitationsgetriebener Flüssigkeitsfilme. Inhalte sind Untersuchungen zum Benetzungs- und Strömungsverhalten im Vergleich zur Reinigungswirkung von Flüssigkeitsfilmen. Als Modellverschmutzungen wurden zwei lebensmitteltypische Bestandteile in Kombination mit partikulären Anteilen eingesetzt. Im Ergebnis konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass sich das Reinigungsverhalten der gewählten Verschmutzungen mit der Hydrodynamik am Beispiel von Flüssigkeitsfilmen beschreiben lässt. Zusätzlich wurde ein neuartiger Ansatz zur Optimierung der Reinigungseffizienz durch die Anwendung diskontinuierlicher Flüssigkeitsfilme untersucht. Dadurch konnte gezeigt werden, dass der Ressourceneinsatz gegenüber einer kontinuierlichen Flüssigkeitsfilmströmung signifikant verringert werden kann, wobei die Reinigungszeit nur geringfügig steigt.:Danksagung ...
